            Bug ID: 85774
           Summary: Incorrect stack-use-after-scope caused by missing
                    cleanup of shadow bytes
           Product: gcc
           Version: 8.1.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: sanitizer
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: jwyatt at feralinteractive dot com

  Target Milestone: ---

The code:

#include <functional>

void DoSomething(){}

void DoFunc(const std::function<void(void)>& func)
{
        func();
}

void Setup()
{
        switch (1)
        {
                case 1:
                {
                        DoFunc([](){});
                        break;
                }
                case 2:
                {
                        DoFunc([](){});
                        break;
                }
                default:
                        break;
        }

        DoSomething();
}

void DemostrateBadPoisoning()
{
        DoFunc([](){});
}

int main()
{
        Setup();
        DemostrateBadPoisoning();
        return 0;
}

will cause an AddressSanitizer stack-use-after-scope error in
DemonstrateBadPoisoning. This appears to be because the shadow bytes for the
stack of Setup are not completely zeroed on function exit.
